For sci-fi fan and screenwriter Aimee Dansereau (one of the two minds behind the sci-fi community known as She-Fi), that experience happened recently with her contest win in the Television category of the Fall 2018 WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Lab.

The results of his artistry are short stories like “Terminal” (reviewed here on Recursor.TV) and the inventive sci-fi novel Central Station. His latest novel, The Unholy Land, tells the story of a bombing in the Middle East, with characters traveling through transdimensional rifts, trying to avoid possible futures by eradicating the mistakes of the past. Tidhar shared some insights into his writing process with us. RECURSOR: How did.

What do designer drugs, intellectual property piracy, slavery, AI robots, and cyberpunk sensibilities make you think of? If you said Autonomous, the breakout first novel by Annalee Newitz, you’d be right. Autonomous offers a story steeped in real science as well as a fast-moving thriller plot that keeps readers turning pages. We spoke with Newitz about the inspirations for her book, its characters, and what she’s working on now— including her sci-fi podcast with Charlie Jane Anders, Our Opinions Are Correct. RECURSOR: Neal Stephenson and Wil Wheaton said that what.

When an author is born in South America, grows up in Canada, and has worked in the Arctic, you expect them to have a broad view of the world. And you can easily believe they’d land their writing in the genre of science fiction.

LA Comic Con’s #octoversary falls close enough to Halloween to ensure a lot of great cosplay. This year, anime, horror, and the Hot Topic main stage panel dominated the event. On Saturday, con attendees got a private screening of Nicholas Cage’s.
